Started TRT 9mos ago - Diagnosis of prostatitis yesterday
Hi, Folks.
First post ever - forgive me if I say something stupid. Just looking for advice from people who have been at this longer than me.
I started TRT nine months ago with a prescription of .4ml test cyp 2x week. My levels came up to about 1200, I felt great, and my gains in the gym were awesome. After my six month labs, my TRT was adjusted to .5ml 2x week. In January, after noticing testicular atrophy, I got a prescription for HCG (.25 ml 2x week) from the same provider. The atrophy stopped and even reversed. On January 3 I started HGH, using the guidelines and dosing posted here: https://www.eroids.com/forums/hgh-peptides/rhgh/a-basic-guide-to-human-g.... As my HGH dosage increased, I also increased my test, until I was at .75ml 2x week. That is the extent of my PED usage.
A week ago I was involved in a rollover accident and got banged up some. A few days later I couldn't pee. I thought the two were related (and so did the hospital) until a CT scan showed an inflamed prostate. But I was also running a fever and showed leukocytes and bacteria in my urine, indicative of an infection. I won't get the results of the urine culture back for a couple days, but am due to see urology tomorrow. For the time being I am catheterized (would not recommend) and on antibiotics for the infection. I am somewhat timid about reporting my PED use to a new doctor.
Checking to see if anyone here has run into a similar situation, or has any advice for me.

I like to add 5mg of a cialis to my daily regimen for prostate health.
I was going to say sounds like a UTI which can really wreak havoc on your kidneys. But I see a few posts to below that you figured it out and got some antibiotics. Glad to hear
.4 ml yields 1200 should of lowered your dose that is not trt, and then you went up to .75 twice a week. Then add hgh which can raise your testosterone levels even more. May want to think about lowering your dosage of test.
You should always be open with your doctor, so you get proper treatment. If your prescribed, there is no reason to hide it. Shit the urologist may even prescribe you since your already prescribed and save you money.
Your levels were at 1200 which is above normal and they increased your dose even higher. Something seems off here.
I’m probably reading too much into it, but HCG was from the same “Provider”, I’m highly doubtful it was an endo or urologist, probably a testosterone mill clinic. Which can be ok, but one has to take some accountability on their own end. I’ve shaken doctors hands and said no thank you in the past, if something seems off or wrong, well, it may be.
You're correct on the mill clinic thing. And I own the accountability of each choice I make. I did not pursue TRT because I had particularly low T - I wanted the benefits of higher T. Now just looking for helpful information if it's out there.
That's what happens when you consistently run high levels of test for that long. Go see a real doctor who will actually be interested in maintaining your health and not lining their pockets with your money at the expense of your health.
High test levels = high DHT = impacts on prostate
Thanks, Makwa. I appreciate the advice.
